Zyme Kairos 2016
The label shows the link of Kairos to the Harlequin project: Harlequin’s costume is composed of pieces of many colours, just as the wine is composed of 15 diff erent grapes, each with its own characteristics. In ancient Greek, Kairos means “opportune, at the right moment.” The addition of the sundial and the clock express the idea of exact time.

Colour

Luminous, dense ruby red, with garnet highlights as it ages. Glycerine-rich viscosity.

Bouquet

A mosaic of fruit, blossoms, and earthy mineral, alternating with each other.

Flavour

An impression of enfolding richness and complexity. Fruit, spices, and higher alcohols alternate with fruit marmalade and forest floor, followed by pipe tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, combining with a vein of minerality to put on display the tremendous depth of this wine. It concludes with great length and an appealing note of sweetness.

Pairing

Partners well with elaborate dishes of all meats with hearty and spicy sauces. Excellent with aged and full-fl avoured cheeses and with game.
